To mark Volunteers' Week Moray Pathways organised a Volunteer Marketplace. The event allowed members of the public to find out about different volunteering opportunities. It was great to have the opportunity to chat with representatives from some of the volunteer groups with links to #historicbanffshire and beyond. From heritage railways to event first aid; from supporting people facing the challenges of energy costs to preserving and celebrating historic aircraft; and, from helping young people facing challenges to working with adults to develop new skills, the contributions of volunteers cover so much of life. Anyone looking to volunteer can find a place where they can volunteer their skills and make a difference to our communities.
